how to seeme in 3-D

HISTORY

THE HISTORY
OF VIRTUAL 3-D
IS VERY SHORT. I
ACCIDENTALLY CAME
ACROSS THE PRINCIPLE
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COLOR
ENHANCE AND SHARPEN A VERY POOR
QUALITY PHOTO OF A SOUND EXPERIMENT
UNDERWAY 2 YEARS AGO. THE PHOTO WAS OF A
DEMONSTRATION IN WHICH FULL STEREOPHONIC 3-D
SOUND WAS BEING REPRODUCED FROM
ORIGINAL MONO
GLEN MILLER WIRE RECORDINGS, USING JUST A SINGLE 10 INCH
WOOFER WITH AN 8 INCH OVAL WOOFER WIRED IN LINE AND
LYING PROPPED AT A DISTANCE ON THE FLOOR, BOTH
SPEAKERS DRIVEN BY A SINGLE 22 GUAGE LEAD
FROM A SINGLE CHANNEL OF A CHEAP GETTO
BLASTER. THE DEMO WORKED. THE RESULT
IS SUMMARIZED AS 'THE JAW DROPPING
DEMO' UNDER "NEWSOUND' ON MY
GIC SUPERWEB SITES AT

ORIGINAL PHOTO


THE ORIGINAL LIVINGROOM
WAS LIGHT BUFF WITH LIGHT BROWN CARPETS.
YOU CAN SEE THE PROBLEM IN THE FOLLOWING ORIGINAL PHOTO.




NEWSONICS 3



I ACCIDENTALLY RE-SIZED ANOTHER (A VERTICAL SHOT)
BY MISTAKE AS HORIZONTAL UNDER TWO OTHERS
THAT WERE HORIZONTAL AND SEEING
MAJOR DISTORTION REALIZED
IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE
TO GET SOME STEREO
FROM SUCH RE-SIZING
OF TWO DIFFERENT COPIES
OF A SINGLE ORIGINAL. I WAS
SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH STEREO WAS
INHERENT. THIS WAS ON NOVEMBER 5, 1996.
HERE IS THE ENHANCED ORIGINAL AND AGAIN, AS
ACCIDENTALLY RESIZED. YOU CAN SEE AT ONCE WHAT
DIFFERENCE A LITTLE ENHANCMENT MAKES, PLUS WHAT YOU
CAN SEE IN 'VIRTUAL 3-D'.

HMM - ISN'T THIS HOW STEREO IS CREATED,
ALBEIT WITH TWO SEPARATE PHOTOS
BY TWO SEPARATE CAMERAS
OR LENS?




NEWSONICS 6



ERGO - A DISCOVERY - THESE IMAGES SUPERIMPOSED ARE STEREOSCOPIC

AND SO, VIRTUAL 3-D STEREO IN A SINGLE PHOTO EXISTS


NEWSONICS 8

The photo taken looking down
upon the layout from a 3-step ladder,
with the 110 camera held vertically, the scene
you see is correct, looking again into that living room
from 2 years before. Pretty successful from a single mono photo.





These picture represent
a sequence which replicates an
actual moment of discovery, the first
seen instance of 'Virtual Stereo 3-D' and how
it came to be from single mono photos. In the captions
what is not mentioned is the great unknown. When the first idea
occurred to test two created images from a single mono
displayed side by side on a computer screen no
idea whatever was known what the result
would be, except that the two images
would have to be in some way stereo.
What was imagined was for instance
great distortions, a small object
at the back of the room sticking
straight out into space in your
face, main objects at the front
of the picture so stereo small
at the back of the room they
could not be seen, these and
other major warps, distorts,
and nonesense, could have
resulted, instead, suddenly,
there I was looking back into a
living room I had last seen two years
earlier the picture first time tried was stereo !

One of the things regards
the original discovery photos was
that it was thought the photos should also
reasonably reproduce the colors in the living room at
that time hence a great deal of effort (a GREAT) deal of
effort went in to trying to re-color enhance the originals into
true colors of the original scene but actually all that attempted effort
didn't work the colors are very poor matchups. The only advantage
was that some dim and dark parts of the originals were
cleaned up enough to be revealing.


Prior to the big buildup
leading to the 'jaw dropping demo'
a number of things were tried, including
sonic faceplates on the main driver, worked a bit
but better room tuning of surrounding sonic devices led to
better sound in which the paper faceplates clearly became spoilers.
